Karl-Anthony Towns Reveals Tim Connelly’s “Gangsta” Treatment After Learning of His Trade Through Social Media

Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks, easily THE trade of the 2024 offseason. And thanks to social media, it took only a few minutes for the news to go viral. Surprisingly enough, not only the fans, but even the players sometimes get to know about their trade through social media before any communication was made by the franchise. The same happened with Karl-Anthony Towns as Big KAT (Josh Hart’s words) recently revealed some unknown details behind his trade to the Knicks.

When Matt Hillman asked KAT how soon he got to know about his unanticipated trade before Shams Charania tweeted, the 7-footer answered, “4 minutes.” The room suddenly filled with an awkward silence. “By the time the shock wore off, Shams already tweeted,” Towns added.

KAT further revealed that he didn’t get the news over a call. “They told me, Tim told me to my face that I was traded.” Both Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart together called out that “Respect.” KAT admitted that it was a “gangsta” move that his new teammates apparently respected. “I gotta give him respect (for coming over to his house) because it was me, 3 of my closest friends, and my pops. So shout out to him. He came to a house by himself with 5 dudes there who could’ve just started spazzing out and crashed out,” KAT added.
